About Forest Glen
Forest Glen sits between Metrotown and Deer Lake in central Burnaby — a mature, tree-lined neighbourhood where 1950s and 1960s single-family blocks have been converting to half-duplexes at a faster rate than any other Burnaby neighbourhood. Walking access to the Metrotown Skytrain is the neighbourhood's practical spine; Central Park — one of the Lower Mainland's largest urban parks, with a running track, pitch and putt, pitch-and-putt, tennis courts, and the covered Swangard Stadium — sits on the western edge. Streets are quiet, grid-planned, and predominantly residential with mature tree canopy. Schools include Marlborough Elementary and Burnaby Central Secondary, with Metropolis at Metrotown and the town-centre amenities a short walk west.
Family buyers who want Metrotown's Skytrain access and Central Park's green space without paying town-centre pricing, multigenerational households for whom Forest Glen's larger lots support basement-suite configurations, and established Burnaby residents downsizing from larger single-family homes who want to stay in central Burnaby.
Forest Glen has the highest density of new-build half-duplex inventory in Burnaby, the result of steady lot subdivision driven by Metrotown proximity and lot values that make conversion financially attractive. Pricing tracks the broader central Burnaby market and is typically a step below Metrotown-adjacent product while maintaining the same Skytrain access.
